Introduction: This study aimed to explore how nurses experience relational work in the emergency department.
Methods: A qualitative design with 34 focus group interviews using an abductive thematic analysis were completed for this study. Participants were recruited from an annual mandatory continuous learning program in 2020-2022 at 2 university hospitals in the Capital Region of Denmark.
Background: Unmet care needs and more than one reasonable discharge solution have been identified among patients in the emergency department. Less than half of the patients attending emergency care have reported being involved in decisions to the degree they have wanted. Having a person-centered approach, such as involving patients in decisions regarding their discharge, has been reported as being associated with beneficial outcomes for the patient.

- Patients in the emergency room want to be part of the decision-making process about their care, but they often aren't.
- Healthcare professionals face challenges that make it hard to include patients, like busy routines and different patient needs.
- To help patients be more involved, healthcare workers need better ways to talk with them about their care choices when they are ready to leave the hospital.
